The other two games will be Miami vs. Ohio State at 3:40 p.m. on Sept. 11 and Clemson vs. Auburn at 7 p.m. on Sept. 18.

ESPN 3D plans to televise 13 college games this season, concluding with the Tostitos BCS National Championship Game on Monday, Jan. 10, at 8:30 p.m.

Sony is the official sponsor of college football on ESPN 3D, and the college games televised on ESPN 3D will use Sony 3D cameras.

ESPN 3D will be announcing additional sports programming, including NBA, college basketball and Winter X Games 15, throughout the course of this year.

This study leverages the Dramatic taxonomy of film narrative to infer which scene-level character and story attributes generate more box office returns, by genre. We are extending this study to ads and movie trailers.

The project researchers used machine learning to map 70+ story attributes for 300 films to their box office returns to extract which story mechanics or character features in film generated the most revenue. This was the first time granular story and character mechanics have been used to predict box office returns, which opens up many avenues to make more data-driven creative and development decisions throughout the industry.

What’s a good story? The question has been hanging without a scientific answer since the dawn of man. It seems that a story’s lack of clear mathematical structure and universal taxonomy would relegate such classification of stories to the qualitative – and highly subjective- empire of critics and … people.

Until now.

The event presented results from the research, discussed applications for the development and creative process, and outlined next steps.
